How to make your web page folder readable to the world but
only writeable by you:

w5sdc.net
will not relay E-mail for spammers or other unauthorized users. You must have a
valid Linux account on this server in order to send mail. Bulk E-mail of any
fashion from this server is strictly prohibited and any user that violates
policy will have their account terminated permanently.

w5sdc.net uses a standard POP3 mail server. You must have a
Linux account on this server to send and receive mail.

FTP is used to
transfer your web page files to the server. You must FTP your web files to your
public_html folder. Be sure to disable anonymous login in your FTP program and
use your unix username and password with FTP. The hostname for the FTP server
is w5sdc.net. After your FTP session is established, donít forget to select
your /public_html folder before you start transferring files. If you experience
problems accessing your web page after you FTP your files over, use PuTTY to log in via SSH and perform the commands:

username@linux:~>chmod
755 public_html

Note: your homepage html file must be named
index.html ALL LOWER CASE

w5sdc.net also supports the Microsoft FrontPage server
extensions, so if you would like to use FrontPage instead of manual editing and
FTP simply contact me and I will set your access up. One advantage of using
Frontpage is that the URL can end with something other than ~username as long as
it is not already in use and meets the approval of the system administrator.

You must have Microsoft FrontPage installed to use this
area as FTP to FrontPage web space is not supported on this server.

FTP

Anonymous FTP is disabled on this server for security
reasons. Only regisitered users can upload files to their home or webpage
directories. Most common FTP clients using default settings are compatible, and
the standard FTP command line of course. Web browsers may also be used, but most
will default to anonymous access which will generate an error when the browser
first connects; however, in the case of Internet Explorer just go to File>Login
As and use your linux username and password to connect.

Telnet

Incoming telnet connections to w5sdc.net are disabled for
security reasons; however, users can telnet out of w5sdc.net to other domains from the linux command line once they are logged in. Users
should use caution since telnet uses clear text usernames and passwords which
can easily be harvested by hackers. Please don't telnet to another machine which
uses the same password as your password here.
